Manchester United striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 claims that he has worked back to fitness and is currently training with the first team.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man signed for the Red Devils in 2009 and has been a significant signing considering his goals to game ratio and the fact that he cost nothing.
Owen immediately endured himself to the Old Trafford with his legendry strike against Manchester City in the dying seconds of the derby. If that wasn’t enough, he netted a hat trick against Wolfsburg to prove his prolific credentials.
However despite scoring the opener in the Carling Cup final in 2010, the forward’s time at the club has been plagued by injuries, which have often restricted him to the sidelines.
His last outing against Otelul Galati proved to be tragic as he again damaged some ligaments, resulting in a long wait on the treatment table. But owing to his determination to back on the field, he has now finally brushed off the problem and has been training
with the first team as well as the reserves.
While not a first choice by any measure, Owen claimed that he was often the butt of jokes in around Carrington due to his fitness problems, which he hoped were over after the latest setback.
“It’s been a long, old road when you’re injured and this is probably the most frustrating part of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. I’ve been out quite a while and been a bit in and out, doing a bit of training with the reserve lads, being the spare man, the ‘joker’ as we call it,
in sessions,” he said.
“That was just to ease me back in for the first week. In the last week, I’ve been doing everything fully with the lads. I’ve been back in a couple of weeks and it’s exciting to come in and know you’re going to be training rather than wandering off to the
gym to do all the rehab stuff so it’s better late than never.”
With the title race being decided at the Etihad Stadium on Monday, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson will be contemplating whether to name Owen in his match day squad, owing to his ability to score at the slightest opportunity.
